"Please understand that the web moves at breakneck speck partly because the majority of its users (read: NOT THE LIKES OF US HERE) demand it"

Nonsense. The vast majority of users don't have the slightest clue about anything regarding computers or the internet. They just take whatever they're given. If they're given browser updates every half hour to allow sites full of tracking, infinite scroll, flashing adverts, dogs and cats living together, and so on, then that's just what they'll use and will quickly consider normal. Give them a stable browser with a consistent interface that rolls out relatively minor updates once a year, then that's what they'll use and will consider normal. Not a single part of the internet was created because it was demanded by ordinary users before they even knew it might be possible.
